To persuade listeners to support alternative fuels

The strain on the diesel supply in America is too high and a stable source must be found to alleviate the strain. Bio-diesel is a suitable additive in diesel that would help reduce this strain. Bio-diesel is also much safer than conventional petrol-diesel.
Topic: Alternative Fuels for Diesel
Speaker's Goal: To persuade listeners to support alternative fuels
General Purpose: To persuade
Specific Purpose: To persuade listeners to support alternative fuels to diesel such as bio-diesel.
Thesis Statement: The strain on the diesel supply in America is too high and a stable source must be found to…show more content…

a. In 1996 it cost the U.S. 57 billion dollars to obtain enough oil to keep the country running, according to www.biodiesel.org.
(1.) The taxes to obtain that oil added another 4 billion dollars.
(2.) The estimated environmental costs were $45 for each barrel.
b. A very shocking figure, according to www.biodiesel.org, is that for each billion dollars spent on foreign oil, ten-thousand to twenty-five-thousand working Americans lost their job to outsourcing.
4. Diesel is a much better fuel option compared to regular gasoline.
a. Diesel burns hotter, therefore producing more energy, wikipedia.org.
b. Cars that run on diesel get 40% better gas mileage, wikipedia.org.
c. Diesel running engines produce roughly 69% less greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, wikipedia.org.
5. Even though diesel may sound like a very good fuel option, there are also disadvantages to using diesel.
a. Diesel contains a high amount of sulfur, which is bad for the environment, wikipedia.org.
b. Diesel is also very harmful to your body. On the Material Safety Data Sheet diesel has some very shocking information listed for it.
(1.) Skin: Severe skin irritant. Contact may cause redness, itching, burning, and severe skin damage
(2.) Cancer: Possible skin cancer hazard.
(3.) Target Organs: There is limited evidence from animal studies that overexposure may cause injury to the kidneys.

Gasoline vs. Diesel
You’re in the market for a new truck; you have an idea about what you want but not quite sure if you want a gasoline or a diesel engine. Well, gas and diesel engines are very similar yet different in quite a few ways.
At first glance, someone who doesn’t know much about either of the two engines might ask, “What’s the difference?” To the untrained eye they might look exactly alike, but don’t judge the engine by its exterior look.
Gas engines are mainly used by the individual…

the first major car production, we have always wanted better. The research shows that many people are leaning away from direct speed and more towards hybrids, electric, and diesel for the fuel costs and MPG. For the people who stick with gasoline , they tend to add modifications for MPG and horsepower. Those that drive diesel can also add some of the same type of mods. The other mods many people may hear of, are probably for body. Those technically can be used for performance but engine mods are…

What is Bio-fuel?
Bio-fuels are fuels derived from sustainable and renewable biological sources (ABC’s). These sources, commonly referred to as Biomass, usually consists of either food crops (corn, sugar cane, wheat, and potato’s), various biological oils (peanut, sunflower, algae, and soy oil), or biological waste (waste vegetable oil, wood-chips, corn leaves and stalks, and yard waste) (Biofuels)(Biomass). Bio-fuels are often touted as a viable carbon-neutral replacement for carbon based fossil…

How Do Diesel Engines Work?
The basic difference between a diesel engine and a gasoline engine is that in a diesel engine, the fuel is sprayed into the combustion chambers through fuel injector nozzles just when the air in each chamber has been placed under such great pressure that it’s hot enough to ignite the fuel spontaneously.
Following is a step-by-step view of what happens when you start up a diesel-powered vehicle.
1. You turn the key in the ignition.
Then you wait until the engine builds…

When someone mentions diesel, many people still have the image of a loud and obnoxious machine that is hard to start in the cold weather. This may have been true twenty to thirty years ago, but could not be further from the truth today! With all of the advancements in engine and emissions technology; diesel has become the new standard in fuel economy and power while still maintaining strict pollution standards as mandated by the EPA. As C.J. Baker explained here, “Diesel development has come a long…

Bio-diesel: Alternative Fuel Source
Introduction
Currently today more than 99% of all fuel consumed is petroleum (3). In the year 2025 the world’s reserves of petroleum will be a dry source (7). Other than the shortage of petroleum, the burning of petroleum also causes many problems such as global warming. In this case, engineers and scientists need to come up with an alternative energy source for gasoline not only because of the shortage, but because of the environmental problems gasoline…

efficient vehicles. Diesel vehicles can also be converted to bio-diesel which are made using vegetable oils. These bio-diesel vehicles have less emissions and run at a cheaper cost. Bio-diesel can cost any where from one to two dollars cheaper than gasoline. Diesel vehicles engines are proven to last longer because they they are built to withstand a more powerful explosion thus made with more robust parts, therefore retaining their value over time. A older vehicle with a diesel engine is often worth…
